Do you have a source for that, because i never found one and my expiernce suggests thats flat wrong.
The post office like any public service works fine when there arent good private options, as its filling a need thst isnt otherwise anprofitable venture, but needed... that is no longer the case however.
@supernovae@universeodon.com @futurebird
Most americand when thry use the post office expiernce tons ofndelays, lost packages, and poor customer service. Its deemed bad largely because it lacks the market pressures where other delivery services would have to improve their services.
In short it is simply an example of how important free market is in producing services people want to use.
@futurebird i do t think ive ever heard of the post office, or most govt services, explained as communism. Welfare for sure, and communism isnt a good descriptor.
@glynmoody I think brexit was the right choice but there was so much infighting and people who wanted it to fail that the execution was horrific and in pratice it was a failure but didnt need to be.
This is incorrect. The origin of the term "Climate Change" in this post is bunk.
LOL the actual science (granger causality tests and similar good-analysis approaches) would disagree with you.
No it would be a hard thing to prove.. But you dont have to go around life only beleiving in things that have clear proof. In fact most things in life you have to make a judgement call without being able to "prove" it..
As for them not having guns, nah, as we have seeen countless times that makes things much much worse.
anyone who spent any real time and is honest with themselves in America knows exactly why the american murder rate is so high... when you are there it feels like visiting an insane asylum, the mental health issues are huge there and pervasive.
Nothing wrong with being single
@georgetakei se3ms reasonable to me.. if you are legslly an adult in every other way...
@Pat call it what you will, the co stitution ensures your right is legally protected.
No you havent really given any examples, in each case i explained why it wasnt a valid example.. civil rights and voting right acts did not protect any rights they simply gave consequences for violating certain rights codified in the constitution. You gave examples of forcong people to do abortions but didnt explain how that woukd protect the woman from arrest.
See ya
I dunno ive seen all this mentioned in the news.. but yea its not front page, i think people have come to accept it and moved on.. im ok with that as long as the medical community keeps working on it.
@Pat you cant "pass a law that allows".. laws dont allow things thry disallow things...
@Pat Be specific, what bill are they trying to pass that you think would grant the right to abortion?
@lawprofblawg yes anyone who points oit facts clearly wants mass murder lolol
